Here's why thousands of feathers fell on Montreal this weekend (PHOTOS)

You may have noticed some white feathers around Montreal today.

In case you’re wondering, a herd of chickens didn’t take over the city. The feathers are actually from Place des Anges, an art show by French Gratte Ciel, which creates and develops mesmerizing ariel shows.
